A regenerative steam cycle operates with two stages of expansion and a single open feed heater. The condenser operates at a pressure of 0.2bar. Steam enters the turbine as dry saturated steam with a pressure of 30bar. For a bleed pressure of 20bar, calculate the proportion of steam bled from the turbine assuming steam leaves the feed heater at the saturation temperature associated with the bleed pressure.
